I am a Afrocentred historian and a researcher, some of my material is my own personal scholarship amd others i source from other academics, historians and scholars.

You are a low-esteemed clout chaser that deals in rhetoric.

You have spent the whole time talking down on yourself and uplifting other people.

See no hiding no, cloud chasin, no nothing.

Clear and simple.

I want to show the thread how you are suferring from an acute state of Stockholm syndrome.

I do not subscribe to the term 'negroid', i refer to myself as an African. Very clear and crisp.


I will ask you slowly this time.

I ask you again since according to you some humans are meant to be classified as negroid.

Does you consider yourself a 'caucasoid' or a 'negroid"? simple question.

Why should I refer to myself as "Caucasoid"huh

According to racial classifications am I "Caucasoid"huh
You tell me.

Let me try again.

Does you refer to yourself as a Negroid?

It isnt a trick question.

Let me attempt to assist you, i do not refer to myself as a Negroid, i refer to myself as an Africansic.

A old adage says:

"A kii go titi ki a maa feran ara eni"

Interpretion:
"One would never be so foolish to not want to wish well on ones own self"

Just because one reads in a book that some Eurocentric numskull pseudo-scientist came up with a nonsensical classification using a term that has always been derogatory shouldnt mean that we are to accept that as our truth.

No i reject that completely and utterly.

I want to put this discussion to bed.

No you did not.

The story you gave is not the etymology of the term 'Caucasoid', rather its an invalid ramble that has no logical link to anything other than nothing.

As i stated earlier.

The true etymology is rooted in the 'Caucasus Mountains'

Caucasus - Caucasoid - Caucasian

That is where the term has its origin, and as such, is the accurate historical development of the term and its meaning.

It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

Note the horn of africa is the proposed exist of early modern humans and entry of another set of people,so their 40% estimated caucasoid genes is mostly from the neolithic era.
Eventhough i dont subscribe to the notion of early human being different from the modern ones.

Humans have always been the same, its technology that has changed.

However, note taken.

The history of the Caucasoid begins during the stone age, whilst Africans had already experienced hundreds of thousands of years of existence prior to that.

Its important to note that the current Eurocentric model of history doesnt account for
the parts of world history that doesnt involve the Caucasoid.

What some would tend to deem pre history is infact major parts of Africansic history.

Noone is in control, possess the qualification to address the narratives of African history except for the African
CultureRe: How Come The Title Of Oba Became The General Word For King In All Yoruba Lexicon by Amujale(m):
RamessesIV:
horners are classified as Caucasoid..
Assuming you are well learnt in African history, that wouldnt suprise you.


Amujale:
Who are the original 'horners'?

The demographic of that regions has changed hands more than 100 times in the last 2,100 years.

Furthermore, learn to make use of the term 'South of the Sahara', opposed to 'Sub Sahara'.

Know thyselves.

South of the Sahara ✅

Sub Sahara ✖

The communities 'South of the Sahara' arent sub to anyone or anything nevermind the 'Sahara'.

For further discussion, follow the link here:

https://www.nairaland.com/5795996/african-origin-civilisation
Eventhough history teaches us of an Arab, Greek and Roman presence in those regions.

The horners consist mainly of the Barbari, Eritreans, Ethiopians and the Somalians

So there should be no suprise that we will find Caucasoid amongst them, especially the Barbari.

In addition, the most beautiful humans were reputed to be the stereotypical "Circassian beauties" and the Georgian people; both Georgia and Circassia are in the Caucasus region.
You are alone with that kind of Eurocentric understanding, as i for one doesnt subscribe to that nonsense.

The most beautiful humans are the Africansic.

Furthermore, you are poorly read on history. The Caucasus Mountains is where the cave dwellers originate.

Theres a huge amount of missing information that i neednt divulged here, however, what is never in dispute is that everone came out of Africa.

It is supposed that they some how lost there pigmentation and became melanin passive.

The caucasoid as they themselves allude to at a certain point in time found themselves in the Caucasus Mountain. i.e Krubera Cave of the Western Caucasus range.

It is from here that they later dispersed into Asia and Europe.

These stock of Asians and Europeans have been around for no longer than 10,000 years as scientific analysis suggest.

Go and read a proper and genuine history textbook.

Who concocted these so-called classifications?

You dont know what you are on about.

Due to the history of the term 'Negroid', it has always been toxic and as such has no place inside African history.

Instead of you to learn, you are too busy trying to defend a Eurocentric version.

I dont know what melanin symbolises to you, for me and for the ancient Africanssic melanin denotes divinity, pure essence, originality e.t.c

You can take your Eurocentricism and throw it inside the ashcan of history.

Here we deal with African history from the perspective of an African.

All other hypothesis are null and void

This is not correct,"caucasians" don't come from the Caucasus mountain this was first used in 1780's...
The Caucasus Mountains are a mountain system at the intersection of Europe and Asia. Stretching between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, it surrounds the eponymous Caucasus region and is home to Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe.

Is this where the term Caucausoid originates?

You arguments are baseless and void of common sense.

Are you saying that that the Caucasus Mountain isnt the root for the term "Caucausoid"?

If so, show us where the term originates.

For the umteenth time, Caucasoid is correct because the current stock of Arabs an Europeans came from the Caucasus mountains.

Negroid is wrong and invalid because there is no where in history that the term wasnt used in a derrogatory manner.

Instead of Negroid, replace with some other acceptable term. i.e African, Black, Kush, Nubian e.t.c

There are no such thing as race classification.

As there's no such thing as multi-race.

Theres only one race of significance, they call it the Human Race.

Even if we was to go along with the so-called classification, the term 'Negroid' is:

Invalid.
Null and Void.
Squashed
Quashed

Rather than using such a term, you would be better using African, Kush, Ethiopian, Nubian e.t.c these are all the terminologies that foreigners used to refer to blacksic.

Please go and check the history of the word "sub-saharan"
I dont need to check the history of anything.

'sub - ' is a gramatical construct, a prefix, hence it doesnt matter what it history says, its meaning is self explanatory.

Ok you sound as though you are justifying the use of the term when i just showed you that its wrong.

The devil is in the detail.

What is the meaning of 'sub -'

Do you believe that the communities living 'South of the Sahara' are subordinate to the 'horners'?

again negro was the word for black it became derogatory cause of the mentality at that time..
Wrong, the term was originally a derrogatory term from the off.

How old is the Spanish language?

The term that was originally used was ater, furvus, pullejaceus, pulleiaceus, carbo e.t.c

The noun was always CARBO

This particulare term nigrans became negreos and was juxtaposed by the Spanairds during the era of the Conquistadors and it continued to be used in a derrogatory throughout the over 2000 year slave trades, Colonisation, Jim Crow and today.


There was never a time in history that the term Negro meant anything positive.

Is that correct?

If that is correct, then what is the justification of using it today?

Caucasoid however, isnt a derrogatory term, its a valid description, a kind of identification similar to Nubian(African) or Mongoloid.
